About

The aim of this study is to evaluate the joint position sense of individuals diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and who have undergone unilateral total knee arthroplasty surgery, and to examine the effect of joint position sense on parameters related to balance, physical performance, reaction time, kinesiophobia, pain and stiffness.

Answered the question of the relationship between knee joint position sense, balance, physical performance, reaction time, kinesiophobia levels, pain, stiffness and function in individuals who have undergone knee arthroplasty.

Answered the question of the relationship between knee joint position sense, balance, physical performance, reaction time, kinesiophobia levels, pain, stiffness and function in individuals diagnosed with knee OA who have not undergone surgery.

Answered the question of whether there is a difference between the knee joint position sense values, balance, physical performance, reaction time, kinesiophobia levels, pain, stiffness and function of individuals who have undergone Knee Arthroplasty, individuals diagnosed with Knee OA and healthy individuals.

Full description

The aim of this study; To evaluate the joint position sense of individuals who met the inclusion-exclusion criteria of the study by examining the retrospective files of individuals who had previously undergone unilateral total knee arthroplasty surgery due to knee osteoarthritis and whose treatments were completed, and to examine the effect of joint position sense on parameters related to balance, physical performance, reaction time, kinesiophobia, pain and stiffness.It is thought that it will be useful to understand the relationship between the individual's balance, reaction time and physical performance parameters by determining the changes in the joint position sense of individuals who have previously undergone unilateral total knee arthroplasty and individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Also, secondarily; it will shed light on the literature about whether all the evaluated parameters are affected only by the presence of the disease or because of surgery.
